Day 1 with Knights in the City (New York, NY)


The Knights in the City Alternative Break trip is focused on serving those living with HIV/AIDS via their community partner, Gay Men's Health Crisis. Follow us along this week as we see the service trip through the eyes of one of our RUAB participants, Camille.

Day 1 with Knights in the City
Author: Camille C.

Greetings from the Big Apple! Today, our Scarlet Knights have begun their service adventure in New York City. First conquering the subway system, then navigating the streets of Manhattan, all while surviving 17°F weather, we have made a home at Hosteling International. Together we went grocery shopping, made dinner and bonded over a delicious meal, bringing the day to a close. 



Tomorrow marks Day 1 of our service trip at Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC), where we will be spending our week volunteering. Throughout this week while interacting with those at GMHC, we hope to gain further insight on the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the lives of those affected by HIV/AIDS, challenge our perceptions, and leave a positive impression at GMHC.
